Episode description

Welcome to Season Six. In our first episode, I explore the relationship between (in)security and Temperance — a Major Arcana card that teaches us about moderation, patience, and healing.

When our foundation is rocked or we’re feeling unsteady, it’s natural to seek an escape from our pain. But sometimes short-term gratification pushes us further into the abyss. We can bypass our emotions temporarily, but not forever. Eventually they’ll come knocking.

Staying present with tough emotions helps us increase our capacity for discomfort and pleasure. It gives us greater access our full range of emotion. It’s not necessarily fun work, but it’s life-changing. By pausing and getting present, we can interrupt the cycle of escapism and find new, more empowering ways to soothe our fears.
